HELLO KITTY FRAMES

Inspired by the Snapchat Filter – Bring the Virtual to Reality!

I always loved how the cat-ear filter looked, so I decided to turn it into a physical 3D printable object! These are designed from scratch to capture that playful, cute aesthetic.

These Hello Kitty Frames are a fun, stylish accessory. I engineered them primarily as a photo-op prop or a costume piece – think of them as a physical version of a virtual snap filter that you can hold and wear. They feature integrated cat whiskers at the upper corners of the lenses and include the signature pink bow accent, which is printed as a separate piece for easy assembly and color options.

Key Project Features:

• Snap Filter-Inspired: A physical reproduction of the popular Snapchat filter.
• Photo-Ready Accessory: Optimized for clear lenses and fun poses. Not designed or intended for daily corrective or safety eyewear use.
• Separated Accent Piece: The bow prints separately for easy color-swapping (e.g., pink, red, black); you need to glue it in.
• Flexible Sizing: Print shows frame flexibility up to ~157mm (wide) and standard wear at ~130mm (narrow).
• Easy assembly: the hinges are connected with raw filament from the spool.
